Wedding Nail Care

Wedding Nail Care. Leading up to the big day, many brides pay particular attention to wedding nail care. Trying to figure out whether to use real or artificial nails, pick the right shade, and determine the right length can really amount to a bevy of questions. But truth be told, healthy nails are key.

Your nails are going to be front and center in all those photos of yours and your husband’s rings. You want them to look good but not overpower any photo that they’re in. A great option is to have a tasteful manicure done with a neutral or blush-colored polish. It’s just the right style to show off your nail beauty without putting too much attention on your hands.

If you want to go a little bolder, consider not just your style but the style of your wedding. If you’re proud of your modern or contemporary flair, use a metallic shade on your nails for a dose of personality. You can also experiment with different shades to amp up your nail game. For example, if you're planning a winter wedding with lots of dark rich colors, try something different, like a cranberry polish, to liven up your look.

Make sure your manicure is a seamless accessory to your bridal look. Short, simple, shiny, and sweet is always a great way to go. If you're not a girl who normally wears polish, a clean and simple manicure with shiny nails will be perfect for those up-close bouquet shots.

Your hands will never receive as much attention as they do on your wedding day. Take the time to think about caring and preparing for your wedding day nails so they look impeccable no matter what.
